In the charming village of Casale Marittimo, this apartment is backdropped by postcard-worthy panoramas. Stretching from the Tuscan countryside to the Etruscan Coast, you can enjoy them to the fullest on the private balcony. We can't think of a better spot to enjoy breakfast in the sunshine or a glass of wine at dusk. Inside, expect rustic touches like vaulted wooden ceilings and steep stairs. The design is a bit dated – and one guest will sleep on a sofa bed – but that's worth it for the views. Keen to explore? Venture inland to Bolgheri, 12 kilometres away, or drive 10 kilometres to Marina di Cecina's sandy beach.

Home truths

  • This apartment is on the upper floor of a traditional building. There isn’t a lift, and the stairs to access it are quite steep.

  • Please note that this home is in a limited traffic zone. There isn’t private parking, but public parking is available about 300 metres away – you’ll walk up a footpath to reach the home.

  • The use of the washing machine is shared with another accommodation in the building.

  • The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.

About Livorno

Home to white-sand beaches and impossibly clear waters, it’s not difficult to see why so many travellers head straight to the islands of Livorno. Elba, the largest of the seven, is a scenic collection of seaside towns, mountain villages, and pretty coves – whether you’re into hiking, cycling, or just fancy a week on the beach, this island won’t disappoint. Meanwhile, smaller islands, such as Capraia and Pianosa are harder...
